S.05 E.17 – Johannes Persson of Cult Of Luna

Send us Fan MailWe welcome back frontman Johannes Persson from the Swedish metal group Cult Of Luna. After dropping their “A Dawn To Fear” masterpiece in the latter part of 2019, 2020 allowed them to flex their skills a little further. The new upcoming EP, titled “The Raging River” comes as an encore and a companion piece to the recent full-length, and this includes releasing it under their newly owned established label by the band, called Red Creek Recordings. The band states, “It has been created as a safe home for our art, but we wanted to do more and offer our experience, expertise and network to the artists we love and believe in.” Johannes talks about the creation of the label alongside the influences and ideas that went behind the new EP. Cult Of Luna looks forward to the day live music can return to the forefront, so as of now – they will still be manifesting creative work behind the stage, because it's what they do, and they do it with passion. We also ask Johannes about his experience in bringing in American singer-songwriter, and musician, Mark Lanegan to perform guest vocals on a song on the new album. It's almost as if it feels like a dream for the band to have worked with such a distinguished artist; So take it from us, it's a song you will not want to miss. Tune into this episode now and make sure to buy/stream Cult Of Luna's new EP “The Raging River” dropping February 5th, 2021 on Red Creek/Metal Blade/Season Of Mist Records.
